When Cleveland Browns HC Todd Monken announced who would be their Week 1 starter when the team opens up on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars, fans were unhappy. It's not quarterback Shedeur Sanders; it was Deshaun Watson... Monken said he took in the 'full body of work … ultimately felt like … Deshaun gave us the best chance to move the ball, score points.'

Watson named Week 1 starter over Sanders; Monken cites full body of work.

Named Week 1 starter for Cleveland Browns against Jacksonville Jaguars over second-year competitor Shedeur Sanders. Head coach Todd Monken's decision was based on full body of work through OTAs and training camp, with Monken determining the starter before the preseason game. Monken stated Watson 'gave us the best chance to move the ball, score points.' Watson has not played well since being traded to Cleveland, and the decision was unpopular with fans who preferred Sanders, but Monken prioritized the veteran to avoid an emotional decision that could lose the locker room before the season opener.
